Gentleman, it may be that boolberry is about to find its bottom. If so, there is only one way from there Smiley

And I still think we should get BBR to https://hitbtc.com

Please come back and confirm everything works after following the advice from clintar2. Please invite more of your SuperNET community friends to Boolberry.

Boolberry followers should become more active in SuperNET slack too.

Hello BBR community,

I've been dabbling in a bit of coding over the last couple of months and finally can unveil the test version of..... Popboolr.

http://popboolr.com

How to play

1. Login: Log in using your Twitter account details:



The game sounds wonderful but I am wondering if there are any privacy/security  concerns about this step. Even if we trust you, what happens if your server gets hacked? Would our Twitter account data be at risk?

The un-sugarcoated answer:

Do not trust any social media site with any data you value as being private or you wish to be secure. Privacy/ security on a social media account is an oxymoron. Social media sites (prone to getting hacked) are in the business of selling your data to intermediaries (prone to getting hacked) who sell your data to third parties (some legit, some not so legit, all prone to getting hacked). That's the business model, and why these sites are worth billions yet offer their services for free (with T&Cs you can barely see, let alone understand). They prostitute your data.

That being said....

The sugarcoated answer:

Popboolr uses OAuth to log into your Twitter account. When you sign up you give give Popboolr an access token. The default Twitter OAuth setting grants all kinds of permissions. I've updated this to request that you only give Popboolr the minimum permissions (read only). I have no interest in selling your data, forcing you to follow people you've never heard of, or posting tweets on your behalf.... I just want to offer a convenient sign in mechanism.

The privileges you grant to Popboolr are displayed before you first sign in:

Quote
This application will be able to:

Read Tweets from your timeline.
See who you follow.


The app will not be able to:

Follow new people
Update your profile
Post Tweets for you
Access your direct messages.
See your Twitter password.


If Popboolr gets hacked, a hacker could obtain the access tokens. However all they will get is the ability to read Tweets from your timeline and see who you follow. Any hacking of your Twitter account details is unlikely to have arisen from having signed up to Popboolr. Obviously be wary of phishing attacks whenever you sign up to this (or any) website, and do your due diligence on OAuth, if your unsure of the security of this.

Remember you can (at any time) revoke Popboolr's access via your Twitter account (go to settings/app) - it always good practice to check what apps have permissions to your Twitter account and whether they need it.

You can of course always use a separate Twitter account for Popboolr for further peace of mind.

Hope this helps!

I love app developers like you who only ask for the minimum permissions. One of my pet peeves is when way more permissions are requested than reasonably necessary for core functionality.

Thanks clintar. It would be nice if that list of nodes could be kept up to date and posted on boolberry.com
Maybe a link could be added to the OP also.

I love it! Lets cross post a link in the new Boolberry speculation thread to so more people can see it. This is exciting

Hello BBR community,

I've been dabbling in a bit of coding over the last couple of months and finally can unveil the test version of..... Popboolr.

http://popboolr.com

Popboolr is a web app game based on real-time Twitter data that allows players to ‘claim’ tweets and earn Boolberry.

The idea is this:

  • Popboolr shows a list of the most popular tweets on Twitter sent within the last hour (i.e. tweets [no older than 60 minutes] that have been retweeted the most).
  • Users scroll through the list of tweets and click on the ‘unclaimed bools’ before anyone else does in order to claim the tweets
  • Once claimed  the unclaimed bools is reset to 0 and as the tweet is further retweeted more unclaimed bools become available (at a ratio of 1 bool per retweet)

Quote
E.g.
If Tweet 1 is retweeted 1000 times in 10 minutes and no-one has claimed the retweets, there will be 1000 unclaimed bools. The first user to click the unclaimed bools button for Tweet 1 is awarded 1000 bools. If Bob clicks the unclaimed bools button for Tweet 1 before Alice, Bob is awarded 1000 bools. Tweet 1’s unclaimed bools buttno resets to 0. If in the 11th minute Tweet 1 is retweeted another 15 times, the unclaimed bools for Tweet 1 will be 15 bools. Alice or Bob (or anyone else) can click on Tweet 1 to claim the 15 bools

  • Once Tweet 1 is 60 minutes old, Tweet 1 drops off of Popboolr along will any unclaimed bools at that point
  • Popboolr will thus consistently refresh with new tweets with aged tweets dropping off
  • There will be a consistent stream of bool points up for grabs – the bool/BBR ratio will fluctuate depending on the popularity of the site and the BBR exchange rate

Popboolr will hopefully be the first of many 'boolr' applications that allow users to earn 'Bool'berry by being the first to claim 'r'eal-time data as it feeds through to the website. In the case of Popboolr the users can claim retweets for the most 'popular' tweets on Twitter. Future apps will allow users to earn Boolberry from live score football (soccer) data ('Footboolr') and lots more...!

I've kept this test release super simple in order to get a prototype out for the community to feed their thoughts into. There are lots of directions I can potentially go with this concept however I'm keen to get as much feedback as possible before venturing too far down any particular route.

Aspects of the app I do plan to work on are:- (a) a user account page and (b) devising an automated way for user to redeem Boolberry for 'bools' points earned (c) bonus bools and charts that acknowledge users who have earned the most bools in a given one hour period.

Please note - this is a test release and as such I will not be paying out Boolberry on bool points accrued during this period. Also be aware I may need to periodically wipe data or take the site down.

This is my first venture into coding/ web development so I would welcome any technical or design suggestions.

I'd also appreciate it if anyone can spare the time to test the app. All that's required is a Twitter account and to click on any unclaimed bool points you see. I've tried to optimise the site for mobile browsers, so I'd advise using a phone for the best user experience (I will be looking to create a mobile app at some stage).

Please see below for more blurb,


Introducing Popboolr.com


Realtime retweet data

Popboolr is a web and mobile app that provides real time data on Twitter retweets.

Where twitter provides data on what hashtags are currently trending, Popboolr lets users know what tweets are trending, who tweeted them and who's retweeting them.


Web app game

Popboolr also contains a game that allows users to ‘claim’ retweets as they're tweeted. The aim of the game is to claim retweets before anyone else and rise up the Popboolr leaderboard.

Points (called 'bools') are awarded per retweet claimed. Bools can be converted to Boolberry.

The amount of bools per tweet awarded will fluctuate with the value of Boolberry.


How to play

1. Login: Log in using your Twitter account details:

2. Claim Tweets: Scroll through the tweets and click on the 'unclaimed bools' (highlighted in green) before any else does to claim the retweets.

3. Collect Bools: Collect as many bools as you can and rise up the leaderboard.

4. (UNDER CONSTRUCTION) Redeem Boolberry: Convert your Bools into Boolberry before they expire (00:00 UTC the day after they are collected).


Trendy tweets/ Data retention policy

Popboolr has been configured to only tracks tweets sent in the last 60 minutes. Tweets more than an hour old will not appear. The aim being for Popboolr to reflect the fast-paced nature of social media.


Feedback any comments or suggestions to [email protected] (or to me on this thread).
